Romeo And Juliet Lyrics

Artist: Mark Knopfler
Album: Break Of Day

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenadeLaying everybody low with a lovesong that he madeFinds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shadeSays something like you and me babe how about it?

Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attackHe's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's backYou shouldn't come around here singing up at people like thatAnyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the startAnd I bet and you exploded in my heartAnd I forget I forget the movie songWhen you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

Come up on different streets they both were streets of shameBoth dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the sameAnd I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is realHow can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of goldYou can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they holdYou promised me everything you promised me thick and thinNow you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cryYou said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I dieThere's a place for us you know the movie songWhen you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?

I can't do the talk like they talk on TVAnd I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to beI can't do everything but I'd do anything for youI can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to beAll I do is keep the beat and bad companyAll I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhymeJulie I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cryYou said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I dieAnd there's a place for us you know the movie songWhen you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenadeLaying everybody low with a lovesong that he madeFinds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shadeSays something like you and me babe how about it?
